why they didn't invest in a quiet power supply and cpu cooler is beyond me! core 2 chips run so cool that it's laughably easy to build a silent pc these days...
I'm pretty sure the article is reffering to technology very similar to betavoltaic cells but with the twist of using gold as an electron source and some more strongly radioactive isotope as the energy source rather than using beta-decaying tritium directly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betavoltaics
I think when talking about the toxic chemicals, even in older high-Hg CFLs, you have to consider their incredible lifetime. Because of the low quantities involved compared to incandescents, it is reasonable to expect that they can be recycled properly without causing a lot of overhead for recycling centers. Over here in Europe most councils provide recycling facilities for dangerous substances such as medication and batteries.
Genetic: You can find the same behaviour in animals (from fruit flies, where it can be controlled through gene manipulation, to the big apes, our nearest relatives). There's also been studies which confirm that male homosexuals' brains respond differently to the testosterone (http://www.livescience.com/health/ap_050510_pheremones.html)
I think a lot of it is personal conviction in ratzi's case, once a hardliner always a hardliner. How I long for the day when fairytales stop to shape the decisions our society makes...
Now presenting the wonderfully wonderous world of World of Warcraft 2, the next-generation, mind-blowing (M)MMORPG. Lucious green rolling hills and sharp cliffs of frozen mountains covered in realistic trees with fully DirectX 12 rendered foilage. Oh and the deserts, you've never seen such sand, just looking at it makes your teeth crunch!
Odd villages and cities sprinkle the landscape, otherwise inhabited by vicious monstrosities that spawn gracefully out of quasi-natural burrows instead of simply popping up. Their superior AIX-powered artificial intelligence makes them, above any other natural inclination such as sustenance or reproduction, chase you in order to devour you alive or simply kill you for sports!
The user experience and immersion is supplemented by holographic avatars, representatives of fine eating houses such as Starbucks, Domino's or even Wal-Mart who stand ready anywhere and everywhere to take delivery orders for your every wish, with direct access to your credit card and well-kept preference databases for every individual, even night-elves. Beautifully rendered billboards dot the environments offering useful consumer advice streamlined to your preference profile and long-range travel is spiced up with streamed full-motion video of the latest and greatest emanations of the marketing departments of your favourite companies straight to the saddle mounted 42" plasma screen on your personal mount. (griffons are limited to 24" for safety reasons)
(comes free with a month's supply of mountain dew or cocaine)
Those on the macbook air are not... Imagine that, a laptop and you can't change the battery... 129$ for a new one, "free" installation at your apple store.
Most people are not that organised, at least not when using computers. (clicl download, immediately click ok, "damn where did it put that file...)
But judgemental issues aside, i think it would be quite useful to have a desktop search application that actually collects the documents that lie around all over the drive and puts them in neat directory structures with a topical organisation... Hmm.. where's that tracker source!
All that script does is set up the google rpm/deb resositories automatically on systems not running gui's or for people who prefer the shell. Google does not provide source packages for desktop.
I've had great results with the canon i865, five huge, separate ink tanks and relatively cheap inks (the black cartridge lasts about 600 pages)
It's not a true photo printer but it comes with a number of special accessories for printing on different media (ie: cd labelling tray, photo prints tray)
The argument given by the printer makers is usually that air bubbles in the ink pathway may lead to ink drying and clogging up said pathway. So completely emptying a cartridge might be potentially detrimental. Still no excuse for stopping printing at 50% capacity.
Slashdot Mirror
what the bbc iplayer offers is not HD... it's a highly artifacted h264 stream at a ~512 resolution, try watching it on a large HDTV and you'll see.
I was quite surprised to meet him in the elevator or the break room on level 8 in the physics building at Imperial College :)

No, really.

indeed, silly me
well, it's a two-stroke, very simple, very cheap, very easy to service
I believe that's the part from zlib (public domain), which is in turn included in libarc.
There's obviously a runaway solution in the differential equation governing that part of the Matrix.
hmm.. the eu server got me 800 KB/s which is fast considering I'm on 8Mbit/s DSL...
These guys have some pretty fast mirrors up for the UT3 demo:
